It's working now, I think it's more of a web site maintenance issue. It seems to do that every now and then, you just have to wait and try again later when that happens. Sometimes it's just a few minutes and other times it's a lot longer.

BTW- Their support forum sucks. The posts have to be approved first. I started a thread there, and my latest post from yesterday hasn't posted yet.

"Sucks" is being charitable. When I had a phone issue I needed help with, and phone support was being useless, I posted on the support forum. It took six weeks, if not longer, before my post was finally approved and appeared on the forum. Granted, the response after that was pretty quick, and my issue eventually got resolved, but having to wait that long is ludicrous.

Good observation mommusic. Thatcold be a 'cheaper route' for Net10 if they could shift from Verizon to Sprint. But being Sprint does not cover a lot of the US, I'd guess that Net10 would still have to fill in with Verizon in some paces, for those who need it.

at&t is having massive server problems related to all those new iphones (4.5 million and counting!!!) that have just been sold. Customers are screaming about not being able to activate their new iphones.

I think at&t has shut down tracfone's ability to add any new phones to their network until they get this sorted out.

The town next to me just went back "online" as it were, offering phones for sale again. BUT, only the CO (cdma) phones, not at&t. Which might not be a bad deal, since I believe that gets you onto Verizons network. Phone selection is limited though (4 models).

Anyway, just a theory. I'm in no rush at the moment, but I would like to get a new phone pretty soon.
